Ride, Radar, ATAK. If you can find one that is used and CLEAN, they are almost always a steal of a deal.

Am highly thinking of a Radar 115 mainly to try something different than a Hobie but a few people that I have talk to have told me that the Rotary propeller drives are nothing compared to that of a Hobie, Some have even said that the drive gears constantly skip making it that much difficult to move at a steady speed.

The only thing that has me leaning towards a Hobie is the interchangeable livewell.

Build a livewell for your next boat so you have one in both. It's not that difficult to build. Container that fits, water in, water out, protect the battery.

To be frank, if you are going pedal power, go Hobie.

BUT, I still strongly recommend the Ride, Radar, or ATAK as a second/guest/in-harbor boat. If I had room for more than one, I would have kept my Ride and been 100% happy with it.
